My husband and I can not say enough wonderful things about EPC in East Hampton. We had dealt with some experiences at a previous daycare that left a very bitter taste in our mouths. Thinking about finding new childcare for my daughter was not an easy task for us. Pretty much from the moment I walked in the door the day of my tour I knew EPC would be the perfect place for my little girl. During my tour every single teacher at the center greeted me with a smile, asked me how I was doing and if I had any questions. Each one of them also welcomed my daughter into their classroom to take a look around. She even got to spend some time in the classroom she would have been placed in. Her teachers are absolutely phenomenal. My daughter tells me all the time how much she loves her teachers and is excited each morning that she wakes up and knows she gets to "go to school". I know that my daughter is 100% cared for while she is there. Their meals are nutritious and they have learned to work around my daughters food preferences which has been wonderful. Their curriculum is amazing and it is so wonderful to know each week, before the week even starts, what she will be doing in her classroom for the week. We had her first parent teacher conference (She is only 2&1/2), I did not really know what to expect but it was amazing. To hear from her teacher how well she was doing as well as areas they are working on with her showed me how committed they really are to her growth and development. I could go on and on and on with wonderful things to say about this center but I will leave it at this...This is a center that puts their all into making sure your child (and you as the parents) has the best experience possible. My only complaint is that I did not send my daughter there sooner.

We absolutely LOVE EPC East Hampton! Between our two kids, weve experienced all the class levels from infant to before and after care. We cannot say enough about EPC! We love that the snacks and meals are provided and are nutritious. The variety of food prevents the kids from getting bored with "the same ol meal". The classrooms are extremely clean. (I dont know of another school that cleans as frequently as EPC!) The teachers are fantastic! We love knowing that when we drop the kids off at EPC that they are in great hands for the day. I love knowing that my kids look forward to being with their teachers and that they adore them. Receiving photos throughout the day and the daily report at pick up is a great way to see what the kids are doing and that theyre learning and enjoying their day. Safety and security are top notch, too. Its reassuring that the director can see all that is going on in each classroom and only authorized people have access to the building. I highly recommend EPC East Hampton! Tell them Sara Perez sent you!

Cant say enough positive things about Educational Playcare. Our nearly 2 year old went from being clingy, skeptical and reserved to outgoing and independent within one month of attending EPC. The place is immaculate, even the high traffic areas are cleaner than some restaurants Ive eaten at. The amount of projects they do with this age group is mind blowing and the amount of outdoor time they get is fabulous. Considering the messy activities, our son rarely comes home with stained clothing. The classrooms are packed with awesome learning games and everything is perfectly set up for the intended age group. The staff is attentive, quick with communication, and super friendly. He has never come home burnt from the sun and is always happy. A great perk for us was the meals and snacks being provided. They are very accommodating when it comes to food restrictions/preferences as well. EPC is a well oiled machine- it seems they have thought of everything. We couldnt be happier.

We are thrilled with the East Hampton Educational Playcare! Consistant, careing staff who are wonderful with the children. Clean, safe and fun environment. Great outdoor as well as indoor play space. The provided snacks and lunch offer a nutritious variety and all the kids get the same meals. No food swapping or envy. The emailed pictures through out the day and the daily report are great as well as the weekly emails about what will be going on in the class. We can keep the weekly themes going at home. If you are looking for a place where you will have peace of mind and your children will want to go - Educational Playcare should be on the top of your list. Tell them that Nicolette Holzer (aka Zoes Mom) sent you.

This is the first daycare Ive used so my experience is limited, but I cant imagine a place where my little guy would be happier. He and all the children seem to be smiling all the time and he is constantly engaged in age appropriate activities. I think the best way I can explain EPC is that before sending my child to daycare I felt guilty about not having him home with a parent, that in someway I was letting him down. After seeing how engaging the staff are with the children and how active the kids are all the time I know we couldnt replicate this environment at home and now I would feel guilty keeping home and away from this social place where he can learn and grow.

We love Educational Playcare! We fully trust the staff with our children. They are committed to each and every childs safety and feeding their minds. I currently have 2 children there and the newest addition to our family will be attending in a few short weeks! They were fantastic about potty training, they have assisted in helping my children through each milestone they face. I get pictures of my kids throughout the day and they love the activities. My children are better prepared for school than many other children of the same age that I know. And I love the regular opportunities to meet my childrens friends and their parents.

We have 2 children at Educational Playcare in East Hampton. Our prior experience was with home daycare so I was nervous, especially for my infant, about the larger setting. My worries quickly went away. The staff is wonderful - caring, interactive, dedicated. I am always amazed how they know all of the childrens names even if they arent in their direct care normally. The center is cheery and inviting with lots to keep the kids engaged and to encourage learning. So pleased with our decision. Plus, I love getting pictures of the boys throughout the day. Seeing how much fun they are having makes this working mama so happy!

So happy with this facility. Communication was a big issue for me in the past and Educational Playcare goes above and beyond in this department. I know exactly what my boys do everyday and any questions or concerns I have had are addressed immediately. My now 5 year old has progressed so much in the 6 months he has been enrolled here and I know hes going to be so well prepared for kindergarten. And my two year old, who was delayed in speech, has now reached the point where our pediatrician said just this week, "I have no concerns at all." Great facility. Wonderful, well trained staff. Five stars!
